Zach panted as he pulled himself over the ledge, sitting on the small outcrop as he pulled his water bottle from his backpack and taking a gulp of the precious liquid inside. Leaning back, he looked out over the barren landscape before him, the sandy coloured rocks around him radiating the heat of the sun into his back.

Getting up carefully, he looked up at the near sheer cliff face above him, the twenty something researcher, fresh out of university, stretching his shoulders as he slipped the stainless steel bottle back into the specialised pocket, the sound of ripping fabric, followed by a series of clatters chilling the young man to the bones. Grasping at the empty space where his bottle should have been, he swore, forgetting his precarious location as he yanked off the backpack, staring in horror at the ripped seam, tears welling up in his eyes.

Shaking his head, he took a deep breath, the arid air tugging at the precious little saliva in his mouth. Gritting his teeth, the young human reached up and gripped the jagged stone above him, pulling himself up, his only hope in reaching the top of the cliff and sending an SOS with his satellite phone. Testing another handhold, he shivered as the rock twitched beneath his grasp, threatening to come loose at any moment and fling him into the thousand foot abyss below, to be fed upon by the numerous scavengers that inhabited the area, the same ones he had spent so many years studying.

Steeling himself, the young man pulled himself up, glancing down to ensure that he had a secure foothold before continuing, all the while prying that his fragile handhold would support him. The pebble bounced off the back of his head, making Zach look up in surprise, time seeming to slow as he stared up at the rocks tumbling towards him, completely exposed on the cliff face. Closing his eyes, he laughed as the first stone struck his shoulder, a numbing pain coursing through his arm as the rock beneath his fingers twitched, coming free without so much as a clatter.

The second rock slammed into his temple as Zach was flung out into the empty space behind him, his vision blurring as he watched the ground grow larger beneath him. A sharp tug on his backpack jerked his body, the last of his consciousness quickly fading as he watched the ground below him, a strange gust beating down on the back of his head. The ledge he had sat on suddenly appeared below him, growing smaller and smaller as the darkness engulfed his sight, a single thick brown feather dancing in the wind the last thing he saw before his consciousness failed him.


The pain wracked his body as he cracked open an eye, the other mysteriously sealed shut. Blinking, he looked up at the roof of the cave, wondering if he had somehow managed to survive the fall, only to be dragged into the home of some scavenger, to wait to die before being devoured. Slowly, he began checking himself, twitching his fingers and wrists, then bending his elbows, his left shoulder spasming as he tried to move it. Leaving it, he tested his legs, finding no new pains and that they seemed to work just as well as his arms, injured shoulder excluded.

Lifting his hand slowly, Zach poked the side of his head, feeling the unmistakable crust of dried blood, the sharp smell of iron the flooded his nose only confirming his suspicions. Moving slowly, he sat up, his head swimming as he fought back the urge to vomit, not wanting to sacrifice anymore of the precious little water he had left in his body. Looking around the cave, his eyes widened at the site of a nest, the carefully woven branches covered with small pieces of cloth and animal hide, as well as several large brown feathers, and what looked to be the remains of eggshells in the centre.

A soft chirp to his side made the young man swing his head around, immediately regretting the sudden movement as the taste of bile flooded his mouth. With a shudder, he forced himself to swallow the disgusting swill, waiting patiently for the cave to stop spinning, his open eye going wide once again as he stared at the magnificent figure before him.

Standing at an impressive 5'9", the obviously female creature carefully pruned her feathers, seemingly oblivious to the young researcher as he watched her. She stood serenely as she worked to maintain her beautiful plumage, giving Zach ample time to inspect her. Apart from her larger size, she looked like a typical anthropomorphic eagle, her long, slender arms and legs ending in scaled claws, the scales extending to just below the elbows and knees. He watched in fascination as her razor sharp hooked beak gently picked through the feathers, occasionally plucking one out, letting it fall to the cave floor.

Almost as if reading his mind, she extended a massive seven foot wing from her shoulder, carefully pulling it around her with her fore-claws, the brown and white feathers gleaming in the meagre light that filled the cave. Finished, she retracted the feathered appendage carefully, the eagle suddenly seeming to take notice of the human for the first time. Watching him inquisitively, she ruffled the snow white feathers on her chest, giving the man a brief glimpse of the anthro avian's breasts, her golden eyes watching him with interest.

Moving as slowly as before, Zach pulled his rucksack off his back, opening the zip carefully so as not to startle the magnificent creature, the metal zipper suddenly coming loose in his hand, making his look down in confusion, nearly screaming as he stared at the bag. Shredded was an understatement, the large rips in the nylon making it look like someone had run a lawnmower over the backpack multiple times. With a soft click of her beak, the eagle suddenly introduced Zach to the tools of his backpack's destruction, her scaled hand pressing against his chest as her talons tore easily through his shirt.

Zach felt a rush of adrenaline course through his battered body as the avian loomed over him, her beak shining in the fading light. Remaining perfectly still, Zach found himself contemplating the irony of his situation. Saved from certain death by the very creature he had come to this gods-forsaken land to study, only to meet to his demise by that very same saviour. He blinked in surprise as the eagle clicked her beak again and lifted her claw from his chest, hopping back several feet, staring at him with those strangely captivating golden eye. The spell was suddenly broken as a loud screech echoed through the air outside the cave, the light suddenly vanishing as another form blocked the entrance, landing with practiced ease in the mouth of the cave.

Zach watched in fascination as the slightly smaller bird clicked and chirp triumphantly as she displayed her kill, the limp form of a coyote clutched in arms. The two seemed to converse for a time, the second bird occasionally peering over the first's shoulder to stare at Zach, before the larger of the two suddenly screeched, flapping her wings wildly as the other dropped the carcass, backing off as she tore into the coyote, expertly stripping away flesh and organs until she found her target. With a sickening rip, she wrenched the coyote's liver from its body, trotting triumphantly over to Zach, who watched in morbid fascination as she snapped her beak shut, swallowing half the liver before kneeling before him, offering the young man the other piece.

Her beak still dripping with gore, she seemed to watch Zach intently as he took the still warm piece of meat, swallowing nervously before biting into it. He revelled in the soft, moisture rich flesh as he ate it, swallowing hungrily despite the foul metallic taste. Eating carefully so as not to waste a single morsel of the bitter meat, he panted slightly as the two avians watched. A series of squawks and chirps from the pair suddenly found the coyote's chest being noisily broken open, the beak of the smaller female expertly removing the heart, again biting it in half, blood spraying from the arteries to splatter messily on the floor, before the eagle kneeled before Zach and presented him with the meat.

Taking the meat from her, the two chirped happily to each other as he ate, the young man sighing to himself as he finished, looking down at his blood-soaked hands. In a sudden flurry, the two avians descended on the corpse, tearing at the meat and flesh, messily devouring their kill. Shaking his head slightly, Zach suddenly started, grabbing at his back and riffling through the contents. Finding his note pad and a pencil, he quickly scribbled down the strange ritual looking over at the two females as they dug into the dead coyote. The smell of blood seemed to fill his head as he felt himself begin to sway, his vision blacking out again as he began to topple, the two looking up in surprise as words left his mouth.


The world was filled with white as he slowly opened his eyes, a strange warmth pressing against the side of his face as he tried to move, his face sinking deeper into the feathers as a soft chirping sound echoed from above his head. Pulling away, he sat up slowly, blinking in disbelief as he stared at the apparently dreaming avian, her claws clutching at the place where he had been lying.

Looking around carefully, he squinted as the bright beam of sunlight suddenly streamed into the cave, somehow even managing to glare off of the dull rocks. Zach froze as he suddenly felt a clawed hand grab his shoulder, the larger of the two eagles pulling herself upright as she opened her beak wide, seeming to yawn, before nuzzling the side of Zach's head, opening her beak and licking at the dried blood on his skin. Zach blinked as he suddenly realised that he was able to open both eyes, reaching up slowly to touch the smooth skin, a thin tongue lapping against his fingers as he felt his forehead, tracing the line of the gash.

A soft push from the female made him turn his head in surprise, his mind reeling as he watched the eagle's bizarre movement, her body swaying from side to side as she seemed to dance slowly in front of him. Zach stood mesmerised by the dance, even though he'd seen in countless video's and research footage, astounded that now, here he was, not only witnessing it first hand, but having it done to him. The eagle suddenly stopped the dance, turning around squatting down slightly before him, raising her tail feathers to show off the thin pink slit on her crotch, waving her rear enticingly as she watched over her shoulder. Zach couldn't help but stare as he watched the female present herself, his thoughts confused as he felt his face flush, his body aroused. He pressed a hand to his face as he stared at the puffy pink line, unable to look away as the avian chirped again, a strange look of need on her face as he glanced up.

"I-is this why you saved me?" he asked softly, his voice cracking slightly as the eagle chirped again, what almost looked like desperation on her face, "You want me...to m-mate you?"

The soft chirp that echoed from her beak tugged at Zach's chest, his mind shutting down as he suddenly found himself kneeling behind the female, his hand snaking down through the impossibly soft feathers to her crotch, pressing gently against the slit as the female gave a surprised click, pushing back against his hand as his finger slipped inside. Pulling away, she stared at him in confusion as he lifted his dampened finger to his face, sniffing it, before licking the liquid off, his body already reacting as he began to pull down his shorts.

Zach watched as if from a distance as his body seemed to act on its own, dropping his shorts and kneeling behind the female as one hand ran up her back, holding onto her shoulder as the other guided his member to the soft, pink line, the feathers of her tail being pushed up against his stomach. He moaned softly as he pressed against her, the slender form shaking beneath him as he pushed in, suddenly jerking as he felt his member press against something.

A thought suddenly shot across his mind; for reasons unknown, all anthros, no matter what species, seemed to share the same basic biology as humans, particularly in the case of sexual organs. Did that mean that right now he was pressing against this eagle's hymen? Why had they chosen him, a human, instead of one of their own species? Even if the structures were the same, they should have no hope of producing off-spring, the genetics were too different. Or were they?

The sudden squawk yanked Zach from his thoughts as he moaned instinctively, the young man losing his balance as the eagle pushed back against him, knocking both to the floor. Gasping slightly, Zach watched in fascination as the eagle repositioned herself, slowly lifting herself up, the hot walls clamping down on his shaft, his hips jerking upwards as the eagle gave a long, satisfied trill, suddenly pushing down against him as the young man began to push back as best he could. From the series of high pitched trills and chirps that came from the eagle's open beak, Zach could only assume that she was enjoying this, his own mind fogging over as he felt himself begin to draw near. Another sudden squawk, accompanied by the walls of her tunnel clamping down even tighter seemed to signal the avian's orgasm, Zach gasping as she gave a final powerful thrust down, the small hole rippling over his shaft as he felt the tip of his member press against the back of her canal, his vision going cloudy as he came inside the majestic creature.

Falling back, Zach lay on the cool stone floor of the cave, staring up at the rocky ceiling above him. He glanced down as he felt the young female shift slightly in his lap, his semi-erect member still inside her as she opened her mouth, seeming to pant softly. He took the pause as an opportunity to stare at her wings, drooping slightly to the floor as she let her body relax, the impressive wingspan making the young ornithologist shiver slightly. The eagle seemed to notice this, suddenly looking at him over her shoulder, her hooked beak gleaming in the evening light. With a sudden snap Zach stared at the place her wings had been, the massive appendages now pressed firmly into her back, almost invisible to the untrained eye. Sitting up carefully, the young man ran his palm over the soft yet rigid surface, carefully stroking the surface of her wings. Zach carefully traced where the edges of the appendages pressed into the feathers on her back, the eagle giving a quiet trill, as if enjoying the attention. Running a delicate finger over her shoulder, Zach began to tentatively feel out the avian's bone structure, his mind making notes as he gently squeezed the eagle's shoulders, his fingers running softly over her collar bones.

A sudden shudder from the bird jolted Zach's focus, the young man whipping his hands away, afraid that he might have unintentionally hurt her. He gave a startled cry as the female suddenly fell back against his chest, her amber eyes staring longingly up at him. Confused, Zach swallowed loudly, watching as the avian carefully gripped his wrists, shifting herself down in his lap as she pulled them back up onto her shoulders, holding them there firmly as she gave encouraging chirps. Carefully, Zach again began slowly feeling out the birds bone structure, though this time he focussed more on softly kneading and massaging the taught muscles beneath her plumage. A soft whistle escaped her beak as she leant back into the shoulder massage, Zach sitting there in complete silence as he softly began working lower down her back. A sharp trill made him hesitate again, his thumbs pressed firmly into the point just above where her wings attached to her shoulders, the eagle giving him a strange look as she slowly opened her wings, giving him more direct access to her back.

Zach didn't know how long they had sat there, the young man slowly and carefully working his way down the firm muscled back of the avian, her soft trills and whistles now more easily understandable as sounds of pleasure. Pressing softly down at the base of her tail, Zach watched as she gave another sudden shudder, her taloned hands suddenly gripping his thighs tightly, the claws digging slightly into the soft flesh. He found himself smirking quietly as he continued to rub the base of her tail, her talons gripping tighter and tighter until she suddenly gave a loud squawk, her whole body tensing up for a moment, before she fell back against Zach's chest, panting softly.

Zach grinned to himself as he slipped his hands around the avian's waist, sliding carefully under her out stretched wings and gently rubbing against her stomach. When she didn't reject the action, Zach took the opportunity to slowly slide a hand down between her legs, the eagle glancing up at him as she pressed her beak against his neck, nuzzling him affectionately. His fingers slid gently over the female's puffy crotch, the young man finding himself unsurprised by how damp it felt. A cool hand pressed against the back of his, pressing his fingers down against the sensitive flesh, the eagle giving a soft trill as she continued to nuzzle against his neck. Zach grinned as he let the avian direct his movements, her other talon gripping his free hand, her clawed fingers inter-twining with his.

The bird gave a sudden jolt as he slid a finger inside her, her body twitching as his digit invaded the sensitive hole, her eyes going wide as he leant over, placing a soft kiss on her beak. Zach moved slowly as he pressed his finger deeper into the soft flesh, the eagle giving several more pleasured trills as her hips started to twitch, quickly becoming a slow rhythmic thrust against his hand. Zach smiled to himself as he lifted his other hand slowly, bringing it up to the eagle's chest. The bird gave a soft chirp as she felt him slide his hand under the thick feathers that lay over her chest, shifting slightly as she felt him softly squeeze the small breasts hidden beneath, unfamiliar with this new sensation. Zach, on the other hand, set about softly massaging her small bust, her breast barely big enough to fit into the palm of his hand. He worked slowly, allowing the avian to get used to the new sensation, smiling when he felt her begin to relax again, her hips beginning to move even more vigorously than before and she squeezed his hand tighter over her breast. Zach noted that even though it seemed to feel almost identical to a human breast of the same size, there was no nipple, only what appeared to be a small patch of softer feathers the caused the female to react whenever her ran his fingers over them.

A quiet squawk made him blink as Zach felt the avian's body shudder beneath his grasp, her hole clamping down tightly on his finger as she squeezed his hands tighter against her. With a final gasp the avian relaxed, her eyes blinking slowly as she gazed up at Zach, the young man staring back down at her in amazement, as if he had just realised what he had done. He watched as she shifted herself slightly, arching her back momentarily to pull her wings back in before rolling onto her side and pressing up against his body, falling asleep almost instantly. Surprised by this, Zach looked up at the cave mouth, shaking his head in disbelief as he stared at the stars through the opening. Shifting carefully, he managed to pick the sleeping avian up, her body actually slightly heavier than he had expected, but still far lighter than that of an equally sized human, before carrying her to her nest.

Laying her down, he stood up slowly, his body giving a sudden shiver, the cool night air of the desert filtering into the cave. Moving quickly, Zach grabbed what was left of his bag and dug through the contents, giving a sigh of relief when he found a single pair of linen pants and his jacket still inside. Not hesitating, he pulled on the light clothes over his climbing shorts and shredded t-shirt, digging through the contents again, to find his sleeping bag untouched, buried underneath several extra sketch pads and his laptop. He glanced at the piece of machinery briefly, his eyes wandering back to the sleeping form just behind him, his mind starting to race.

If it was still working he might be able to get enough signal to send a distress message, and even if that didn't work, the University would know something was wrong when he didn't send his first set of research notes in at the end of the week. Carefully, he lifted the piece of technology, his fingers running over a deep gash in the plastic cover. Flipping it open, he pressed the on button, waiting for something to happen. A bright light filled the cave as the machine started up, temporarily blinding Zach as he swore quietly, glancing back at the now illuminated eagle, praying that she wouldn't wake up and attack the laptop. Glancing back at the screen, his heart leapt. It was working, if only just. Being the idiot that he was he'd forgotten to charge it the night before, the battery almost dead, and he couldn't use the solar charger he'd brought with him at night. Shaking his head, he quickly shutdown the machine, slipping it back into his backpack knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to get any signal in this cave anyway.

A soft chirp behind him made the young man turn around, the silhouette catching him off guard as he stared at the female figure, his eyes quickly making out the elongated claws of the avian's talons highlighted against the night sky. Blinking, he glanced back at the nest, his heart beat quickening as his eyes adjusted to the dark, the still sleeping form of the larger bird lying peacefully in the nest. Zach froze as he felt the second smaller eagle move past him, stepping into the nest and crouching over the other, seeming to inspect her for a while. He barely had time to blink before he felt the sharp claws pressed against his throat, the female pushing him easily down to the floor. Zach's brain began to think furiously, trying to identify any characteristic actions to her behaviour that would tell him whether she planned to kill him or something worse.

A firm grip on each of his shoulders found the young man pinned to the floor, the other eagle looming over him as she leant down close. Zach gritted his teeth as he prepared for the worse, his mind still desperately racing for what she was doing, only able to come to two conclusions. Either she was about to rip out his throat or...

He shivered as he felt the hot dampness seep into the crotch of his pants, opening his eyes as the avian began to rub her crotch firmly against his, his member already beginning to stiffen beneath the fabric. Working carefully, Zach quickly undid the button and zip on his pants, pulling both them and his climbing shorts down, freeing his shaft into the cool night air. He gasped as the eagle's hot crotch suddenly pressed down on top of it, running the full length of his member as she shifted her hips back and forth. Zach could only lie back in awe, not only had he experienced the mating ritual of anthropomorphic eagles first hand, but now he was being put through an extremely rare occurrence, when a female eagle is unable to attract a mate, she finds the strongest male she can over-power and effectively rapes him for his seed. Zach was pulled out of his scientific stupor when he felt his shaft suddenly being pressed into the eagle's snatch, the bird shivering and twitching as she tried to force it inside. Zach suddenly felt a wave of concern as he watched the female struggling to get his shaft into her small hole, the young scientist wondering if that maybe why she was unable to find a mate up until now.

Taking a breath, Zach moved quickly to take control of the situation, barely giving the eagle time to squawk before he had her on her back, her legs spread eagled as he gripped her wrists, holding them above her head. Shifting slightly to the side, he quickly pressed his free hand against her crotch, running his finger gently over the avian's tiny slit. The bird glared up at him angrily, opening her beak to cry out, the human having no other choice as he pressed his mouth into her beak, surprising the female as he pushed his tongue deep into her maw, twisting it around hers as the eagle quickly began to copy him. Carefully, he began massaging the female's crotch, working a single finger into the tiny hole, stretching it out slowly as he pushed it deeper and deeper. He felt the female shuddering beneath him as he worked, her hips thrusting lightly against his hand as he slowly pulled the digit out. Moving back and forth, Zach worked to loosen the eagle's vagina, his wrist beginning to ache slightly. Finally he felt she would be okay, his member aching after having toyed with the female for so long. He paused for a moment before suddenly releasing the eagle, surprising her as he rolled onto his back, pulling her with him.

Zach stared up at the panting bird as she slowly lifted herself off his chest, her claws running softly over his chest. He watched as she began rubbing her crotch against his member again, the juices from her newly stretched hole covering the hard shaft. He watched as she slowly and carefully, and almost erotically, lifted her hips, positioning his shaft beneath her hole and lowering herself down onto it. Zach couldn't help but moan loudly as he felt his shaft being forced into the tight space, the walls of her vagina squeezing him tightly, far more tightly than the previous eagle's had. The bird on top of him began thrusting down on his vigorously, her hips shifting erratically as Zach gripped them, helping her steady her rhythm as best he could. A sudden gasp escaped his throat as he gripped her hips tightly, thrusting up into her as she was forced down onto his shaft, the tip of his rod slamming into something, causing the avian's eyes to roll back, her own orgasm rocking her body, Zach cumming directly into her womb.

Both panting for air, the avian flopped down unceremoniously onto Zach's chest, her small frame meaning her head could barely reach his chin. Sitting up slowly, Zach carefully wrapped his arms around the avian, the bird looking up at his dozily, opening her beak slightly. Zach understood the signal and pressed his face forward, giving her the same awkward kind of kiss he had before, the female shuddering happily in his arms. Exhausted, he broke the kiss, the female panting quietly for a short time before slipping into sleep. Glancing arouns, Zach could only see the one massive nest at the back of the cave, so he quickly lifted the female into his arms and carried her to it.

Laying her down beside the other, he tried to stand back up, suddenly finding himself held down by the smaller female. A clawed hand suddenly swung around and grabbed his shoulder, pulling the young man down between the two avian's, his head resting against the larger one's chest, the smaller of the two pulling herself closer, her arms wrapped around his neck. With a sigh Zach quickly slipped his manhood back into his pants and settled down, deciding that it was no use wasting this good of an opportunity.
